Wholesale Tyre Prices?

[garrardrj]

Anyone know how much Tyres actually cost the retailers that sell them to us ?

Are there different levels of discount to the retailer depending on how many they sell ?

I Just have a business thought in my head and need a inside bit of info on the mark up and or cost of Tyres to retailers

Might be best to contact tyre manufacturers and ask them about pricing as your putting together a business plan to start your own company and need pricing guides.

Most tyre shops make their money on fitting rather than the tyres themselves. A tyre which sells for £100 may make about £15-20 of profit. It really depends where you shop.
A mate works at Kwik Fit and recently I was there with another mate having some part worn Eagle F1s fitted on his Lobster Claws.
A merc came in with a flat tyre and they sold him a budget 195/55/15 for something like £95 fitted.. that's going to be a good £40 of profit there. Where as my local tyre shop would be more like £70 so making less money

Especially on big brand tyres you don't make as much money as you may think..
